I need some ideas on how I can lower the temperature in my tent.

Currently with no plants and a mh bulb I am running at about 89 degrees.

My setup is a 1000W XXXL Ballast, 4x4 Tent, 1 tower fan, 1 ~450cfm inline fan 1 exaust, 1 intake (intake and output go and come from outside) No carbon scrubber

Is your light enclosed and vented? Meaning is your exhaust fan attached directly to the hood?

you cant just exhaust to the out side of the tent(unless directed against a basement wall which cool,this is what i do) is very you will just be bringing the hot air you are exhausting from the light back in. add ducting and move the heat to vent out side upstairs downstairs just away from the tent.

My light is in a enclosed vented hood, with air going through the fan over the bulb and out the tent, through ductwork and out the wall.

My exaust hole is above my intake whole in the wall of the house, which if I am not mistaken would mean the hot air from the temp would rise, never giving it a chance of being sucked back into the tent.


Edit: not sure I explained it well enough still, my input and output are directed outside of my house through duct work

no cecuase you ware probably pushing more air than there is space even if the wall isnt sealed, i did the same thing along time ago, 2 holes in wall top exhaust bottom intake,"i thought" the air would rise as you siad but my temps where over a 100 day 1. lol you have to separate you intake and exhaust further can you push more ducting into the wall to lower you intake away further?
